HAWKWINDWarrior on the Edge of TimeAtomhenge, the Cherry Red Records label managed by Esoteric Recordings, the home of the entire HAWKWIND catalogue released between 1975 and 1997, are very pleased to announce that the classic HAWKWIND album “WARRIOR ON THE EDGE OF TIME” will be released in May 2013 as a newly remastered edition from the original stereo master tapes. Atomhenge label manager Mark Powell said; “Contrary to popular myth, the master tapes of this classic album were never lost. They remained in the United Artists vaults. The Atomhenge reissue will be the first ever CD edition to be taken from the original first generation master tapes. All previous editions have been taken from vinyl transfers or inferior copy master tapes”.

Aside from a single disc remastered edition, there will be two other expanded editions of the album. Mark Powell adds; “I’m extremely pleased to say that Steven Wilson has mixed the album into a stunning 5.1 Surround Sound mix from the original multi-track master tapes and has also undertaken a new stereo mix of the album which has an amazing depth and clarity whilst remaining faithful to the original release. “Warrior” is one of THE classic albums of the 1970s and is a land-mark album in Hawkwind’s history. The forthcoming reissues will do justice this magnificent record”.

Full details of the editions of “Warrior” will be announced in the coming weeks.Cherry Red managing director, Adam Velasco added; “The album “Warrior on the Edge of Time” has been unavailable officially on CD for many years and it is our intention to make the forthcoming releases definitive editions in terms of audio remastering (from the original master tapes), content and packaging”.

Hawkwind will be touring in April 2013 performing WARRIOR ON THE EDGE OF TIME, with further dates planned later in the year. Confirmed dates are:

Please find above the link for the 3 editions of Hawkwinds-Warrior on
the Edge of Time reissues due May 27th. There are 3 editions,

a straight single CD remaster,

a 3 disc edition in small hinged box that features the remaster plus
Steve Wilsons 5.1 surround mix and stereo remix plus all the bonus
tracks etc.

A full box set with all of the above plus an exact vinyl replica, a
full siz replica poster, a replica concert ticket of the time plus
postcards and a full 48 page book .

The box set will be a limted edition (we arent exactly sure on the
number yet-we are going to make sure that we fulfill all the initial
run) but when that initial run is sold out -that will be it.

The 3 disc edition will not be limited and will be in a small hinged box (Like Levitation).

For those that buy the full box set direct from Cherry Reds website as
mentioned on my previous email, there will be a download sent
separately of the 1st run through on Assault and Battery. It wasnt felt
as an "absolute essential" for the box, but will be of interest and is a
nice bonus.

If I can also mention if you are overseas and the postage charge on the
full box set -looks high if buying from Cherry Red -- there will be some
copies that go to overseas wholesalers too including the USA--not loads
, but there should be some out there-- but we cant guarantee of course
their order numbers etc.

If I can also mention that there will not be a separate vinyl edition run. The exact replica vinyl is part of the box set.

For those fans on this mailing list who are all members of my CD club, I
will be sending a mail out this afternoon, but in advance if I can say
that i will not be selling the full box set via the club (the other
editions are fine) The main reason for this is that I have a promise
that I will always undercut Amazon. In this case, that wont be possible
because of the postal cost side of things. Amazon have special rates due
to volume and with postage costs on large boxes-its a huge difference.

A couple of club members had paid me already in advance of me mailing
out officially for full box sets and I will honour those and email them
accordingly.

Hope you enjoy these reissues guys -- Im sure they will be splendid and
dont forget--the band will be doing Warrior on the Edge of Time on
upcoming tour dates www.hawkwind.com Go see, if you can.
